But when she finds out her stepmother never liked her, her true friends weren’t true at all, and her father sees her as a burden, Zoey moves back in with her mother in the small town of Driftwood. When she arrives, she hears a dark thought planning to kill people in town soon but can’t figure out who it's coming from.
Through their thoughts, Zoey discovers that everyone in town has a secret—from her mother, aunt, and soon-to-be-uncle to her new friends—with some of them being blackmailed by a mysterious figure known as the Watcher. Zoey must sift through their secrets and find out who’s planning murder—and stop them before they wreak havoc on her small town.
